During troubleshooting, you may sometimes find it necessary to restart or reset the MED-V workspace. Restarting the MED-V workspace is basically the same as restarting a physical computer. Resetting the MED-V workspace reruns first time setup and deletes all data that is stored in the virtual machine. Because all stored data is deleted, you typically should only reset the MED-V workspace to resolve the most serious troubleshooting issues, or to restore a previously working MED-V workspace back to a working state.

On the MED-V Administration Toolkit window, click Restart MED-V Workspace. A dialog window opens in which you must confirm that you want to restart the MED-V workspace.

Click Restart.

Any published applications that are running or redirected web sites that are open will be closed when the MED-V workspace restarts.

WarningResetting the MED-V workspace causes first time setup to run again, and thus reloads the original virtual hard disk. All data that is stored in the MED-V workspace since first time setup was originally run will be deleted.

Click Reset.

Any published applications that are running or redirected web sites that are open will be closed when the MED-V workspace resets.
